The sudden influx of black shadows surrounded the old concubine's courtyard. The guards of Prince Cheng's Mansion who had no time to stop were either decapitated or had their hands and feet chopped off.
The owl guards of the Privy Council are cunning and vicious. Compared with the bright swords and spears of the black armored guards, these shadows that seem to only exist in the dark are more cruel.
Every time they take action, they take away a life.
In just a moment, the blood stained the rain on the ground red.
King Cheng stood behind the crowd with an ugly face: "Xiao! Yan!"
Xiao Yan never looked at him, only feeling that the person in his arms was holding the clothes around his waist and seemed to be shaking. He put his arms around the little girl's body to cover her eyes from the side, and tilted the umbrella towards her head. Then he lowered his eyes and looked at the people in Prince Cheng's Mansion in the night. The sound was like cold jade and gravel on a cold mountain, which was breathtaking through the rain.
"Restrain your hands and you will live."
"Otherwise, kill!"
The sound was obviously not loud, but it drowned out the wind and rain outside and fell on the ears of everyone in the courtyard.
The servants in Prince Cheng's Mansion looked at the shadowy men and women clad in black and looked up at Xiao Yan standing on the wall. For some reason, they suddenly remembered the day the Song family was defeated and the black-armored guards broke into Prince Cheng's Mansion. In the middle, the guard of the mansion was nailed to death by Xiao Yanzhan with a sword.
King Cheng saw the fear in these people's eyes and said angrily: "You are not allowed to retreat!"
He suddenly raised his head and hissed: "Rong Yue, you killed your mother and concubine, and colluded with Xiao Yan and Gu Helian to force people to break into the palace. I never thought that you would be so vicious, and you actually wanted to collude with the eunuchs to commit adultery." This king is dead."
After saying that, he turned to look at Xiao Yan with a cruel expression on his face.
"Xiao Yan, I have tolerated you over and over again, but you have gone even further, breaking into my palace repeatedly and killing wantonly. If I give in again, where will there be room for me in this capital in the future?!"
"Come here, capture them all. If you dare to resist, kill them!!"
The old concubine's courtyard was huge, with many houses on the side of the main house, and a Wangxing Tower at the back that was connected to the Buddhist hall.
The corridor over there leads all the way to the side chamber. As King Cheng finished speaking, someone broke out of the originally quiet house in the surroundings. There were also dense numbers of people appearing on the corridor and high railings of Wangxing Tower. Countless figures.
Everyone held an iron crossbow filled with cold light in their hands. The crossbow's string was strong and pointed directly into the courtyard.
"Brother..."
Tang Ning noticed the sudden silence, and when she quietly pulled away Xiao Yan's hand, her face instantly turned pale.
Ayane also had an ugly look on her face. Previously, she had been preoccupied with Princess Cheng. In addition, these people deliberately held their breath. After entering, the people suddenly became violent again. She only looked at this side and did not realize that there was something hidden in the courtyard. so many people.
Xiao Yan held an umbrella with one hand and his eyes were unpredictable: "Are you using Rongyue as bait?"
"You are only allowed to use her as bait to plot against me, but I am not allowed to set up an ambush? Xiao Yan, do you think I am so stupid that I let you and Gu Helian succeed every time?"
King Cheng's previous panic faded away. Looking at the man standing condescendingly on the wall, his face was full of sneers: "What happened at the Duke of Song Dynasty last time was because of my carelessness. That's why I asked you to step on my face and cause harm to me." This king has fallen to this point, and now you and Gu Helian will never think of doing it again."
"The two of you seduced Rong Yue, plotted to kill the concubine, and led people to forcefully break into the palace in an attempt to assassinate the king and cover up the murder."
Now that his secret possession of weapons has been exposed, he has no intention of letting these people leave the palace, including Rongyue and Xiao Yan, including Gu Helian and Song Tangning.
As long as they all died here, what would it matter even if they were confronted by the court? At that time, he would have many reasons to complain about "grievances". The death of the concubine and their forced entry into the palace at night were the biggest mistakes. Even Emperor An could do nothing about it. Can't reach him.
Gu Helian had reached Rongyue's side and cursed after hearing the words: "Xie Tianyu, you are shameless!"
King Cheng looked up at Gu Helian and sneered: "No matter how shameless I am, I can't covet women as much as you."
"You were like a mad dog back then, guarding the treasure of Rongyue but not daring to go any further. You watched her marry me and abandon you like a pair of shoes. It's a pity that I didn't expect that you would leave like a lost dog. After many years in Beijing, I still haven't given up on her. If I had known this earlier, I would have killed you when you and Rong Yue were so contentious."
Gu Helian looked at Rong Yue, who was already pale, and said in a cold voice: "Rong Yue and I are innocent, and we have never exceeded the rules..."
"That's not necessarily the case." King Cheng sneered: "Rong Yue has been childless for more than ten years, but I am prejudiced against you for getting pregnant later."
"Xie Tianyu!"
After Gu Helian understood what King Cheng meant, her eyes were about to burst, while Rong Yue, who had already felt cold in her heart, felt a chill running down her back.
This is Xie Tianyu's child, his biological blood. He actually wanted to use this child's life to slander her and Gu Helian. Once he did it, the child would not survive.
"Have you been planning to give up this child since you met me in the morning?" Rongyue's eyes were red.
Prince Cheng looked at her bloodless face, and for the first time the deep affection from the beginning to the end faded from his eyes, which was so cold that it was shocking.
"I love you, but you are interacting with Gu Helian, knowing that he cares about you but allowing him to be by your side. You killed your mother and concubine, and the child in your belly is not of my blood, so why should you keep her?"
Even if he felt that victory was certain, he would not allow himself to be stigmatized.
The heavy rain was pouring down, and Rong Yue was soaked by the rain. She looked at the man not far away in embarrassment. Prince Cheng looked at her word for word.
"Don't blame me for being ruthless. It was you who betrayed me first."
If she had been so stupid, they could have continued their "love".
If she doesn't get to the bottom of things and doesn't touch those past things for Song Tangning, he will always "love" her, treat her as a treasure, love and pamper her as he did in the past, and "grow old" with her .
They were living a good life, but she ruined it all.
King Cheng said coldly: "Kill them, leave no one alive!!"
"retreat!"
The bows and crossbows were stretched, and the cold light passed through the rain curtain and headed straight towards the crowd. King Cheng was led by someone to protect him from behind.
When Xiao Yan hugged Song Tangning and swung his umbrella to deflect the incoming crossbow, the umbrella ribs made a sound of iron colliding. He spun around and landed on the ground, protecting the person in front of him.
"Gu Helian, let's go!"
Gu Helian grabbed Rong Yue, turned around and wanted to break out. The Privy Council Owl Guards and the Gu family members protected them. They each grabbed Prince Cheng's palace as a human shield to block their sides, but some people still saw blood.
When Rongyue was being led outside in a daze, he heard screams from time to time. Seeing more and more people falling in the courtyard, King Cheng didn't care about the lives of those he had brought into the courtyard when he asked people to do it. .
Crossbow arrows from high places almost blocked their path, and those servants of Prince Cheng's Mansion who were used as human shields had turned into hedgehogs.
She has never known so clearly how cruel the man she has been sleeping with for more than ten years is, and she has never known so clearly how stupid she is.
Just to understand the knot in her heart, and to make herself give up, she dragged so many people into death.
